How do students benefit by taking a Service-Learning class?
Service-Learning provides an opportunity for students to be actively involved in the learning process and is a way to develop personal and leadership skills through service to others. As students participate in meeting community needs, they can explore educational and career choices. Service-Learning creates the opportunity for students to build positive community connections (Hatcher, 1998). Hatcher, J.A., Ed.
